Lady Gaga felt "honoured" when Giorgio Armani agreed to dress her for the Grammy Awards.
The fashion house created custom pieces for the eccentric singer to wear on the red carpet and during her performance at the prestigious ceremony yesterday, including a lilac and silver space age, solar system-inspired stiff-skirted gown.
She said: "I am honoured to be wearing Armani this evening. The series of pieces Mr. Armani created for me are truly iconic; they represent not only beautiful fashion, but my spirit and essence as an artist. Mr. Armani is a fashion legend, and tonight would not have been the same without his touch, and his wonderful team."
Armani were equally delighted with the opportunity to team with a "modern fashion phenomenon".
In a statement released before the event, they said: "We hear Lady Gaga's music everywhere we go. It is like a soundtrack of our times. In addition to her formidable songwriting skills, she is a modern fashion phenomenon. I am delighted to be creating these outfits on such an important night for her, the Grammys, and I wish her the best of luck."
Lady Gaga won two awards at the ceremony, Best Dance Track for Poker Face and Best Electronic/ Dance Album for The Fame.
